Martin Family

Abigail and her team all were standing at the airport outside of the international departure with their parents.

“Stay safe and do call me daily okay” Chloe’s mom advised her daughter.

“Enjoy your time there but let me know if something happens” same was Kimberly’s.

The boy’s parents hugged their children and warn to stay safe while Abigail was holding Charles’s hand smiling at all of their chit-chats, Charles can feel the sadness hidden in his daughter’s smile.

“Don’t worry one day your mother will be among us, and we will cherish that moment” kissing her hand top he patted his daughter.

Abigail bit her lip and nodded at her father, hugging him tightly.

“Take care of yourself and mum for me, I have only you guys”

“Same is for you, I only have you and your mum. Promise me, no matter in what condition you get stuck, you will fight and will come back to us. Promise me you will not let our enemy win this time” He ran his hand at her back comforting and encouraging her.

“I love you dad” She kissed him on the cheeks with tears in her eyes.

“I love you too honey” he took her face in his palm, wiped tears with his thumbs, and smiled warmly, hiding his all worries from her.

“Let’s go, Abigail, we don’t have much time left” Dylan breaks their family moment by bringing their attention to the lack of time.

“Oh yes, okay everyone we are leaving” Abigail swiftly wiped her face and hugged her last time to her father and bid bye to the others.

Dragging their suitcases, they all left for their new mission.

Going through all checking before heading to the plane, they were marching toward the plane when Abigail received a call on her phone, a crease formed on her forehead looking at the caller ID.

“What is it?” She asked nonchalantly.

“Someone is after you” Abigail halted from her steps.

“What do you mean?” words came out as whispers.

“Someone in France knows you are alive” Abigail freezes after what she listened to from the other side of the call.

Denis left the meeting room shaking hands with the clients, happy with the terms of the contract. This was the second biggest contract Martin Enterprise achieved in the first quarter of the year. His secretary was following him behind shuffling papers and looking for his next meeting venue when they were stopped by his father’s assistant.

“Mr. Denis, your father is waiting for you in his room” Mr. Jack informed him keeping his head low in respect, Denis stopped in his track to listen and moved to his secretary inquiring about his schedule.

“When is our next meeting?”

“Sir in thirty minutes” Denis nods at him and rubbed his index finger on his chin.

“Ask them if we can delay the meeting to some other day or change the time if it has to be done today” Denis gave work to him and motioned him to go back to his office and he himself headed to his father’s office which was one floor above his.

Exiting the lift, he took a turn to his left where a long straight corridor was brightening with lights, carpet on the floor, and silence around making the area peaceful.

Denis used his knuckles to knock on the door, hearing come in from inside he unlocked the door and opened it wide before stepping inside, his father Nicholas was sitting on his chair with his uncle Marco and his grandmother Charlotte sitting opposite his desk.

Denis’s forehead creased seeing the presence of all of them, he greeted everyone and stood beside his father’s chair looking at him questioningly.

“There are some matters which we want to discuss and they are to be done immediately” before he could have asked reason from them for their presence here, his grandmother informed him.

“Derek and Lucas will join us shortly” Marco also took part in the conversation.

“I understood when I saw grandma sitting here that matter is necessary” Denis smiled at her which was returned back to him with a warm smile from Charlotte.

“Come, sit with me and tell me how your meeting went, meanwhile your brothers join us” Charlotte holds his hand and usher him to sit on the chair that was placed in between her and Marco.

“It was a success; terms are all as per our requirement and soon the project will start so hoping for the benefits generating soon” Denis fill them with the details of the meeting he just finalized.

“You always make me proud” Charlotte tilt her head smiling appreciating her grandson.

“Hey, grandma!” Derek her third grandson hurtle toward her and hugged her from behind, she holds his hand that was around her neck and with the other hand took his face in her palm from behind.

“My child took you long to reach”

“We were stuck in traffic” Lucas answered her shoving his hand in his pockets.

“Shall we sit so can discuss the matter” before their greeting exceeds Nicholas brought attention to the matter they all gathered for.

“Sure” Lucas moved and sat on the single couch present there, others joined him.
